Thread: Blaircrows

Tweet

This fall, I found myself in need of a quick project with which to line one side of the pathway to my front door. The original plans of a trio of Pumpkinrot style scarecrows had become too big a project to complete in the little time left before the haunt needed to be complete. I needed something quick and easy, that complimented the creepy ambiance that I was after, but didn't come across as trite. It was in this mindset that the "Blaircrows" were created. A Blaircrow is scarecrow inspired by the stick figures seen in the movie "The Blair Witch Project"

This was another throw-together idea, but I really like the outcome. Nice and simple, a few Lindberg skulls, some sticks, a few screws and some sisal twine. oh, yeah, and some wal-mart freaky fabric. In all, these three took about an hour and a half to make.

those are awesome! love it.

Those turned out nice.

DAMN YOU!!!

Another project I have to get done before Halloween.....

very very nice! i'll have to remember these!

I like those!

Walmart carries that fabric? I have never seen it before.

The fabric is creepy cloth found this time of year in the hween section.
All it is dyed cheese cloth.
Great job on some totally different props!!!

The "Freaky Fabric" aka "Creepy Cloth" and several other names, is available during the Halloween season at many different stores. I have found it at Wal-mart, Spirit Halloween, Party City, and even at the local Dollar General (yes, for a dollar). It comes in 10' x 2' strips and generally in 3 colors (white, green and black). It is similar to cheesecloth, but is thicker, softer and more loosely woven. It is a fast seller in our area, and can sometimes be hard to find.

Glad I was able to give y'all a quick easy project with such little time left to complete things.

Thanks for all the generous compliments.

Already started mine. Going to put my talking skull on top.....
